MTARGETSET

-=mobproc command=-
-=mtargetset <char | obj> <string>=-

This command is used in SPC_MOBPROC mobs.  It is used to manually set a
mob's character target or object target, without letting the mob try to
target it itself.  For example:

...
mtargetset char Vall
mtargetset obj sword
mif tarcharroom
{
  poke +C
  grin +C
}
mif tarobjroom
{
  get +O
  say I like to play with my +O.
  grin
}
...

In the above example, the mob has its %6character target%0 manually set to
'Vall'.  Its %6object target%0 is set to 'sword'.  It then runs a couple
%6mif%0 tests using those targets.  (See wizhelp mif for more info about
%6mif%0)

+ substitution characters:
	The +C and +O substitution characters you see above are the two
	main substitution characters available in mobprocs right now.
	(Also the only two :P).

	+C	: substitutes mob's %6character target%0 for +C
	+O	: substitutes mob's %6object target%0 for +O

	Note: It is not useful to use subs _unless_ you are sure those
	      subs will be meaningful.  It's always wise to run an %6mif%0
	      test before you use a sub.  Refer again to the above example
	      and note how before +C is ever used, mob does an
		%6mif tarcharroom%0
	      before it tries to sub for +C.  In other words, it makes
	      sure that Vall is in the room before it tries to use his
	      name.  It doesn't hurt not to use these safe checks, and in
	      certain circumstances, you don't really want to, but it's
	      usually wise to do so.
